When someone has conquered drug or alcohol addiction, it's not as simple as picking up where you left off. Returning to a positive and happy life takes time and a great deal of effort. A Halfway House, a.k.a. a Sober Living Facility, is a place where recovering individuals can go where they can live in a clean and positive environment until they are able to live stably on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a requirement of a person's probation for example, or the person could decide to live in a Halfway House of their own will after drug or alcohol treatment. In either case, residents of a Halfway House are clean and sober and striving to do what they need to do to get their lives back on track. This could mean getting one's GED, getting a job, etc.
Halfway Houses in Santa Maria are run by people who in many cases were once occupants of the house. The length of time a person is allowed to stay at the Halfway House can vary, but it's commonly anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Residents must comply with alcohol and drug testing before entering the house, and this testing will happen intermittently to make sure there is not any drug use in the house or addiction problems that would be more adequately dealt with in an alcohol or drug rehab program.
